Outcome misclassification rate | aOR | 95% CI |
---|---|---|
10% | 1.69 | (1.15, 2.50) |
20% | 1.44 | (1.02, 2.03) |
30% | 1.36 | (0.98, 1.88) |
Average adjusted odds ratios for persistent opioid use in the cancer group in the hysterectomy cohort calculated for the estimated misclassification rates, obtained by randomly reassigning 10%, 20%, and 30% of individuals without persistent opioid use to the opposite outcome. This process was repeated 100 times for each misclassification rate and the resulting odds ratios were averaged. These results show a significant increase in risk of persistent opioid use in the cancer group for up to almost 30% misclassification rate in the hysterectomy cohort.
